I thought they looked good. Like the standard musical's logo, but with a bit more soul and realism.

>not knowing woodsworth classics

I bought this abysmal version of War and Peace at the thrift shop today, can't argue with 6 bucks do.

No, yeah, I was surprised too at how good the cover was considering that it was a Wordsworth publication.

I thought they were being unnecessarily slated on /lit/, because my Wordworth copy of Chapman's translation of Homer is also good, but your copy brings it all back.

Into the trash it it goes....

>tfw realising I'm reading an excellent French half-translation
>“half” because unlike English keks, parts of the text are already in French

>>7317036
Be careful of going cheap with translations of great literature though, the wrong edition might make you miss out on stuff.

Generally I like ugly covers, but that eiffel tower really really tingles my autism.

>Eiffel tower in the background

MAKES ZERO SENSE SINCE IT WAS ERECTED AFTER HUGO'S DEATH

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>7317421
I mean, it's like putting an iPhone on the cover of "The Old Man and the Sea".

>>7317421
you know what is worst?
If you delete the tower you obtain a perfect background with the Austerlitz bridge. That was a location in the book. (when jean escapes in the cloister)
